- Pigmy Owl.
Nov [November] 1, 1935. On Oct. [October] 20 two pigmy owls
answered my calls. Both were high
up in large Douglas Firs at the
foot of the steep, heavily wooded
hill running back from the
E+N [Esquimalt and Nanaimo] railroad at Mile 18. One
of these birds came down into
the alders where it was
immediately mobbed by chickadees
+ kinglets. It was collected.
The other flew over, high
out of shotgun range +
soon stopped calling. Time
11:30 A.M. Weather dull + showery.
Again on Oct [October] 25, 1935 at
Quarantine Lake, near Beecher
Bay, V.I. [Vancouver Island], B.C. [British Columbia]. I called two pigmy
owls. Again they were high
up in large firs in a
piece of fairly open, yet
heavy fir woods. One of
these was secured, the other
flew at the shot.
